“Please type your name.”
A simple instruction.
A life-changing moment.
Today, Esther touched a computer keyboard for the very first time. Her smile, excitement, and determination reminded us why this work matters.
Through the SHE DIGITIZES program, sponsored by The Wishwall Foundation and Simonetta Lein, women who have never had access to digital training are beginning a journey toward new skills, confidence, and opportunity.
The first word Esther typed was her own name.
The next chapter she writes is hers.

An entire forest grew because of a wish granted!
The well-being of our environment is the foundation of our society. When vital ecosystems become endangered, we drastically increase the risk of food insecurity, poverty, and supply chain disruptions. To alleviate these environmental and financial risks, Dream International in partnership with The Wishwall Foundation is implementing Nature-Based Solutions such as agroforestry and regenerative agriculture. By strategically planting trees alongside crops and livestock, agroforestry contributes to the livelihoods of local farmers while also balancing ecosystems and agricultural systems. An amazing aspect of agroforestry is its flexibility across different climates and landscapes. Best practices involve selecting native tree species like Musizi trees that benefit the local context, targeting different impacts based on the specific needs of the land—such as enhancing biodiversity, regenerating soils, preserving water sources, and preventing erosion.
Trees play a central role in our restoration efforts because of the vast array of benefits they provide. Beyond capturing carbon, trees are fundamental to creating healthy ecosystems and resilient communities. They regulate water supplies, prevent soil erosion, provide crucial habitats for wildlife, and generate economic opportunities to communities in need. In many ways, trees remain a cornerstone in the fight against climate change and environmental degradation, making them an irreplaceable part of restoring degraded landscapes. This project is Implemented by Dream International in Rwenzori Mountains in partnership with Wish wall Foundation

“We are thrilled to share the progress of our Sustainable Garden Project at Green Valley Primary School, made possible by the generous support of The Wishwall Foundation. As we near the harvest season, our students are eagerly tending to the potato crop, carefully adding more soil to allow them to expand. This project has not only provided our students with hands-on learning experiences but also promoted environmental stewardship, healthy eating, and community engagement. We are grateful for the opportunity to nurture our students’ curiosity and passion for sustainability.
The Wishwall Foundation’s support has been instrumental in helping us establish this project, and we look forward to continuing our partnership to empower the next generation of leaders and sustainability champions. Thank you, The Wishwall Foundation, for your commitment to education, sustainability, and community development.
We are excited to share the harvest with the local community and look forward to celebrating the success of this project with our students, teachers, and partners.”
“We’re delighted to share the latest updates from our sustainable garden project, which has been made possible through the kindness and generosity of the Wishwall Foundation. Under Daisy’s leadership, our team has been working diligently to overcome the challenges of using recycled plastic bottles as planters.
By incorporating organic manure into the soil, we’ve been able to create a nutrient-rich environment that’s allowing our plants to thrive. We’re grateful for the opportunity to bring this project to life, and we appreciate the Wishwall Foundation’s commitment to supporting innovative initiatives like ours.

I see myself standing tall at the end of these six months, ready to showcase what I can create at the grand competition. More than anything, I see a future where my child will know that her mother’s hands built dignity, independence, and strength. 💜💚

Vulnerable communities, in particular, are disproportionately affected by climate change. Women happen to be one of those vulnerable groups. Even if they contribute extraordinarily to restoration initiatives, existing social norms and secondary treatment ensure they don’t get the benefits of their labor. Dream International in partnership with Wishwall Foundation, women have to undergo training and environmental education, covering long-term tree care, sustainable farming and foraging practices, and the basics of running a business of their own. It’s also an excellent opportunity for youth because they can start early and become experts much sooner than their previous generations. Thank you wish wall foundation for this unique opportunity.
